Just as the 9/11 ones targeted the most outstanding citadel of commerce. <br /><br />I think we won because we have Beckham. And look at how Beckham was treated.<br /><br />I think everyone took remembrance of 7/7 as part of that memorial and every report I heard made it a more general thing. The point is the deliberate exclusion of the terrorism in the Olympic Games itself.Ariadnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890283022455289696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-47326174532614535492012-07-30T13:12:19.887+01:002012-07-30T13:12:19.887+01:00The London bombings were NOT linked to the games. ...The London bombings were NOT linked to the games. THey were planned long before the announcement that London would host the games. Given the fact that few people expected London to win it was just coincidental that the attacks were a day after the announcement. Also there was no actual mention at the ceremony that the 7/7 victims were included and we know that those 'remembered' included hundreds of random dead relatives of people who happened to get tickets for the ceremony.Mark Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634542433903164227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-72858814890262838842012-07-30T12:00:50.127+01:002012-07-30T12:00:50.127+01:00The London bombings were directly linked to the an...The London bombings were directly linked to the announcement that GB had succeeded for the Olympics this year. <br /><br />Spectators must have known in advance that this interlude would be part of the proceedings. It is truly disgusting that in 40 years no tribute to the Munich 11 has been paid. That slaughter was huge at the time and is an eternal blot on a Games that claims to be for equality and peace.<br /><br />However anyone interested in why the silence would do well to read up on the <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/07/27/why-ioc-will-never-memorialize-72-munich-massacre/" rel="nofollow">antecedents of IOC officials</a>. Not only the Muslim blanket effect we are so familiar with was to blame.<br /><br />But I agree with Edgar. We have a Prime Minister who could have ensured that the right thing was done. Some friends of Israel are only fair-weather.Ariadnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02890283022455289696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-75947548177561159322012-07-30T11:03:15.066+01:002012-07-30T11:03:15.066+01:00The death of Londoners was extremely relevant give...The death of Londoners was extremely relevant given the proximity of the Games this year to the location of where the people died - 8 years ago, not 40, still incredibly fresh for those Londoners looking to brave the Olympics with all the potential security risks that would entail.
